Florida Republican Representative Kat Cammack was widely criticized after opening up to reporter Tara Palmeri about having trouble accessing abortion for an ectopic pregnancy in Florida after she helped pass a six-week abortion ban in the state.

Cammack told the Wall Street Journal that she faced delays in receiving treatment for a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy shortly after Florida's six-week abortion ban took effect in May 2025.

Cammack blamed those delays not on the law itself but on what she described as misleading messaging from abortion-rights advocates that had made healthcare workers fearful of legal repercussions, telling the Journal:

“It was absolute fearmongering at its worst. There will be some comments like, 'Well, thank God we have abortion services,' even though what I went through wasn't an abortion.'"

Because of her ingrained belief system, brainwashed into her mind since childhood, she absolutely cannot face the fact/admit to herself that she actually had an abortion. Yes, it was objectively and truly an actual abortion.

Assuming that like most evangelicals her belief is that life begins at conception, to admit that she had an abortion would be to admit that she herself is what she accuses other women who have abortions to be: immoral sluts who murder children as their birth control method of choice. She would also have to acknowledge that by her actions she has caused immense pain and suffering, even death in some cases, to other women.

    Generally, no. They refuse to acknowledge their mistakes and thus cannot grow, which is why they act like obstreperous children. An adult recognizes their share of a failure - a good citizen endeavors to do better (and not in a PR redemption arc kind of way). There are rare cases where people have managed, to varying degrees, to mentally unfuck themselves, including KKK members and gigaracist HP Lovecraft. This lady has no excuse and should hang from her entrails.
